Good find! The obvious next question for me would have been 'how did you make that deal?'.

Not defending him, but he never said 'the devil' or 'Satan'.
He did have a flash of sanity when he wrote 'Gotta serve somebody'.

Not defending him, but he never said 'the devil' or 'Satan'.
It was strongly implied.
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin supposedly said the same thing. The Devil never gave me that deal. Of course, being the Devil he'd have known that I'd turn him down.

Wacky music producer Phil Spector who last April was convicted of the murder of actress Lana Clarkson has been sentenced to 19 years to life in prison.
Spector was once one of the most sought after music producers in the industry, having worked with the Ronettes, the Beatles, Tina Turner and the Rolling Stones. As respected as he was for his talent and trademark Wall of Sound technique, he was also known as a short-tempered bully.

Man, my close friend from 3rd grade said recently he actually got visited by the 'devil' in the mirror. It was his relfection withouth the tatoos and told him he can make my friend famous[Right now he produces music for some rappers/singers on the radio].
He wasn't playing around either.......this coming from a guy who sometimes cracks jokes about the Bible and what not, gets visited by "phantoms"/shadows that strangle him at night over 50 times already.........I guess I can see why.
True story.

By no stretch of the imagination is Dylan implying he made a bargain with the devil. It should be obvious the "bargain" he claims to have made was with God. Of course, in reality, no one can make a bargain with God-or Satan either for that matter.

LOL, you forgot the /s tag after your post.
I know I shouldn't feed the trolls but damn I find it hard to resist.

He doesn't say anything about the devil.
For all you know, he is talking about what he considers to be God.
Where do you get that it is the devil?
And where do you get from it that he is "serving two masters"? He mentioned only one being (which you have arbitrarily decided is the devil).
Something else worth mentioning is that rock stars love to create mythical portraits of themselves during interviews... it is standard procedure.
PS I'm not a fan of Dylan's music. I went to one of his concerts a few years ago and it was literally the worst concert I've been to in my life.

I never liked any of zimmerman's material, I'm not saying he doesn't have talent, but it wasn't my generation, I don't like his style, and I don't like the way he sings

Yes, his voice sucks, but he wrote some great songs. Jimmi Hendrix credited him for making him a singer, because Hendrix thought that he couldn't sing... until he listened Dylan, and thought that he was GOOD even though his voice sucked. My favorite Hendrix cover is "All Along the watch Tower," but here is a great Dylan classic:
Like A Rolling Stone
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you ?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all precious gifts
But you'd better take your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?

I recently came across this Zimmerman song while researching the JBS:
http://www.bobdylan.com/#/songs/talkin-john-birch-paranoid-blues
Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues
Well, I was feelin’ sad and feelin’ blue
I didn’t know what in the world I wus gonna do
Them Communists they wus comin’ around
They wus in the air
They wus on the ground
They wouldn’t gimme no peace . . .
So I run down most hurriedly
And joined up with the John Birch Society
I got me a secret membership card
And started off a-walkin’ down the road
Yee-hoo, I’m a real John Bircher now!
Look out you Commies!
Now we all agree with Hitler’s views
Although he killed six million Jews
It don’t matter too much that he was a Fascist
At least you can’t say he was a Communist!
That’s to say like if you got a cold you take a shot of malaria
Well, I wus lookin’ everywhere for them gol-darned Reds
I got up in the mornin’ ’n’ looked under my bed
Looked in the sink, behind the door
Looked in the glove compartment of my car
Couldn’t find ’em . . .
I wus lookin’ high an’ low for them Reds everywhere
I wus lookin’ in the sink an’ underneath the chair
I looked way up my chimney hole
I even looked deep down inside my toilet bowl
They got away . . .
Well, I wus sittin’ home alone an’ started to sweat
Figured they wus in my T.V. set
Peeked behind the picture frame
Got a shock from my feet, hittin’ right up in the brain
Them Reds caused it!
I know they did . . . them hard-core ones
Well, I quit my job so I could work all alone
Then I changed my name to Sherlock Holmes
Followed some clues from my detective bag
And discovered they wus red stripes on the American flag!
That ol’ Betsy Ross . . .
Well, I investigated all the books in the library
Ninety percent of ’em gotta be burned away
I investigated all the people that I knowed
Ninety-eight percent of them gotta go
The other two percent are fellow Birchers . . . just like me
Now Eisenhower, he’s a Russian spy
Lincoln, Jefferson and that Roosevelt guy
To my knowledge there’s just one man
That’s really a true American: George Lincoln Rockwell
I know for a fact he hates Commies cus he picketed the movie Exodus
Well, I fin’ly started thinkin’ straight
When I run outa things to investigate
Couldn’t imagine doin’ anything else
So now I’m sittin’ home investigatin’ myself!
Hope I don’t find out anything . . . hmm, great God!
This song make a whole lotta sense now....
